Are you seeking a safe space to allow yourself to speak freely and change like you’ve always wanted to but never have? Have you always dreamed of living that seemingly elusive, deeply fulfilling lifestyle? If you experience(d) loneliness, shame, isolation, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or any other form of a feeling as though you’re somehow “different” than others, you’ve come to the right place! Welcome! My name is Liora Karshigi, and I am so honored and excited to be an essential part of your healing journey. Many people find it challenging to consider change (even if it’ll genuinely positively transform their lives!), let alone trudge forward on its path alone. I believe there are various methods and modalities of healing, and this is a great place to start.
Background
I enrolled in New York’s Long Island University’s accelerated social work program from 2021-2023. During that time, I earned BSSW and MSW degrees. I also became a Phi-Alpha National Honors Society member and earned the Sam Jones Award for community excellence during my undergraduate and graduate years. During my years at the University, I gained experience helping children, adults, and older adults in various therapeutic roles. I have experience working as a case manager with adults who were suffering from severe mental illness, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Since then, I have experienced working with children and families in community mental health clinics. In addition, I have facilitated therapy groups for adults. I am licensed as an LSWAIC in Washington State and only see clients virtually. I believe a competent therapist is constantly evolving their knowledge of the field, which I can thankfully attest to. My colleagues know I am always learning to polish the current modalities I use and enhance my therapy toolkit by enrolling in trainings and continuing education. Professional consultation is also vital to a great therapy experience for you, which I am engaged in through ongoing supervision.
Approach
At Blossoming Oasis Psychotherapy, I help people uncover their ‘inner oasis.’ I believe that every person intrinsically has the knowledge and strength to heal, survive, and thrive on life’s journey. As an LSWAIC, I am a truly dedicated and compassionate therapist. I utilize a person-centered approach, meaning you can expect custom-tailored therapy sessions. Some popular therapy modalities I employ to help you achieve your goals are Psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Inner-child Therapy.
Now that you know what to expect from engaging on this sacred journey with me, please contact me to schedule an intake. No question or concern is too small. Your wellbeing is my priority, and I look forward to learning more about you and embarking on this journey together!
